Bare Metal

Migrate Oracle workloads to Google Cloud

Oracle's licensing policies impose cost penalties on organizations migrating Oracle workloads to other cloud service providers, but Google and Dito have developed an alternative. The Google Bare Metal Solution provisions servers in a colocation facility allowing most customers to transfer their existing licenses without incurring penalties.

Dito's inaBOX for Bare Metal is a packaged solution that provides virtualization and CPU pinning capabilities on the Bare Metal Solution. It’s comprehensive, with everything you need to use OLVM as a hypervisor.
